I want MORE! 8) I find the default colors to be lacking. Hmm - i don't quite understand what you want to say, what are the "default colours" ? There is support for colour in pcvt, uudecode and gunzip the file /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/demo/colors.vt.gz.uu and cat it to one of pcvt's screens on a color display and you'll see .. ;-) Another story is, that these sequences have not yet been integrated into the termcap entry. > I would also prefer not to have to fool with scon -p all the time to > set some of the basic colors. What I wondering is if there's any > documentation on how to set the color in the source code or with an > `options' statement in the kernel config file? See above. There is also a escape sequence available to change the colour assignments at runtime if pcvt was compiled with option PCVT_SETCOLOR, if you cannot find out the syntax of the sequences enabled by this by looking at pcvt_out.c, you'll have to ask Bruce Evans - i included it in ancient times because he requested it :-) > Likewise, what about assigning key codes? man kcon(1), man keycap(3), man keycap(5). > And how would I go about setting up the Latin-1 and/or DEC code page > support for PCVT? It does already fully support Latin-1 and DEC MCS, you just have to load the fonts, see man loadfont(1). Also have a look at /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/Doc and /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Etc/rc.local on an example of a startup file. After you are done, uudecode and gunzip the file /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/demo/chardemo.vt.gz.uu and cat it to a pcvt screen and you'll see what you have!
